When you have made the snowflake, it's not going to look how it should as the yarn is soft and flexible (see below) so you will need to shape and stiffen the snowflake so that it will remain symmetrical and rigid - otherwise you will not be able to hang it.

Pin out and coat with PVA glue and alllow to dry at least overnight. Other suitable stiffeners are Paverpol Fabric Stiffener or wood glue. These will provide a much more rigid finish.

Attach a fine thread with which to hang the snowflake (length specified above).

And there you have it - a great addition to any christmas tree.

About Me

Giving 'Handmade' The Credibilty It Deserves.
There's more to handmade than granny squares. A slighlty different approach from a fashion/product design perspective. Using the textile element with practical and simple designs solutions to provide you with the info to make cool stuff that you will use.
I'm a stitch junkie and trained designer/pattern maker. I've worked for many well-known UK retailers, but have had to give up full-time work to have a family...so now I do it for myself...and share it with you.
